Working / Mechanism of Action
Iverjohn Ivermectin works by targeting specific nerve and muscle cells in parasites.
Step-by-step mechanism:
- Ivermectin binds selectively to glutamate-gated chloride channels in parasite nerve and muscle cells.
- This increases permeability of the parasite’s cell membrane to chloride ions.
- The influx of chloride ions causes hyperpolarization of the cell membrane.
- This interference prevents parasites from absorbing glucose and other nutrients.
- The parasite becomes paralyzed and unable to maintain normal bodily functions.
- The immobilized parasite eventually dies and is cleared by the body’s immune system.
Humans do not possess these glutamate-gated chloride channels in the same form, which contributes to the medication’s selective action at prescribed doses.
